Like a jar so full of coins you can't lift it. Like a suitcase that won't close because you've shopped too well. Like an overripe garden -- beautiful, but now you have to pickle. The Sagittarius moon is a lucky irritant, poking planets all through the day with an opposition and four trines representing inconvenient good fortune.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). There are other curious people out there, but not quite like you. You delve deeper, dig until you hit the real juice, and keep going until you find what lights your mind up. Your curiosity is intelligence in motion.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If you're only happy in retrospect, are you really happy? Feel it now, no delays. Take it all in while it's happening. And it will help if you forget about being subtle and really let yourself react.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The finer things in life are those that feel worthy of investment. Whether material or emotional, luxury isn't just about what something costs --- it's about what it gives you in return: emotionally, functionally, aesthetically.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Conserve energy. Observe the game. Keep your cards close and stay steady. When the moment is right, you'll act decisively -- and win through surprise and precision, not force.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You're fiercely self-sufficient, maybe too much so now. Can you let yourself receive a little support without guilt or pride getting in the way? Just because you can do it all doesn't mean you should. There's a difference between capability and sustainability.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There's power in restraint. Progress doesn't always look like pushing, building or speaking up. Today's most effective move is to lower yourself. Humility won't diminish your worth because elevation isn't always upward.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You've gone stretches without direction before -- long, quiet highways between signs. Today is one of those days. Keep going. The horizon holds more than you can see right now. You're still heading the right way.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your energy is powerful, but context matters. Use it in a way that invites support instead of scrutiny. What gets applause in service to the group can raise eyebrows when aimed at personal gain. Channel all toward the greater good.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). What once stirred in you like envy now is a source of inspiration. Your pursuit of beauty is no longer hungry -- it's joyful, expressive and feels like destiny. You're creating your version, not copying someone else's.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Not everything requires hustle. Sometimes, things just open up. Ease without effort is a rare and welcome change. The shift isn't because you "finally did the right thing" or "fixed it." It's just timing, flow and luck.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). People talk about values. You live yours. Your actions match your words; your credibility is earned. Because you know your energy is too valuable to be spent on everything, you'll agree to only what you know you can actually do.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). They'll bring problems to you today. No need to be an expert on everything. Consider that letting them vent is solution enough for now. Just be engaged, be present and share your energy. That alone can spark magic.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 3). You'll claim what you once only wished for -- and you'll be ready for it, finally and fully. This year brings a rising rhythm and surprising synchronicity as you tend not just to obligations but to the people, projects and passions that call to you. More highlights: A neglected talent surges forward. You'll walk into rooms and feel known. You'll choose between fun invites -- parties, trips and gatherings that ignite wonder. Libra and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 17, 20, 9 and 33.
